I hope that being evil is not punished when you do it right. I am talking of deceit, and cunning planning.

example:

A mayor went looking for missing children with his sword of power. When find him and the children you could kill him but you would be hunted by the villagers. Or you let him live, return to the village, wait till night, stealth enter his house and steal the sword or if needed kill the mayor but shift the blame to some one else when you drop an item of his political contender.

When being evil is done under cloak and dagger it should have sometimes have very good results. It raises some good questions about absolute morality vs relative morality.
